%%name: screen

%%short-description: Runs separate screens on a single terminal.

%%full-description: A full screen window manager that lets a physical
terminal handle several processes, typically interactive shells.

Each virtual terminal provides the functions of a DEC VT100 terminal
as well as several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 and ISO 2022
standards. Each virtual terminal has a scrollback history buffer and a
copy/paste mechanism to move text regions between windows.

"Screen" creates a single window with a shell (or a specified command)
in it; after that you run the program as you normally would. You can
create new full-screen windows with other programs in them, inlcuding
more shells, at any time; you can also kill the current window, view a
list of active windows, toggle output logging, copy text between
windows, view the scrollback history, switch between windows,
etc. Windows run their programs independently of each other; programs
keep running even if their window is not visible or the whole screen
session detaches from the terminal.
